Intro: B D  A  G  B 

B                D 
  Bows broke the night 
A     G      B 
  Let timber hold 
B                D 
  Those bleaking weeds 
A    G     B 
  Carry us home 
B            D 
  My whole resolve 
A     G        B 
  Lay down the ropes 
B           D 
  Master my own 
A    G           B 
  My heart’s disclose  

B A               G 
    You shared my water 
B        A        G 
    From separate shoals  
A               G 
    And take my cover 
B       A        G 
    Let bones be bones 
A            G 
    Hulls in concord  
B           A        G 
    For the taste of salt  
A            G 
    To sever mooring 
B       A        G 
    Let bones be bones 

B                D 
  Bows broke the night 
A     G       B 
  Let tinder smoke 
B                  D 
  Blues broke your side 
A           G          B 
  But won’t touch your hope 
B         D 
  My only lie 
A         G          B 
  Through squall and soar 
B            D 
  This is my oak 
  A       G      B 
  Holding on too long 

B A               G 
    You shared my water 
B        A        G 
    From separate shoals  
A               G 
    And take my cover 
B       A        G 
    Let bones be bones 
A                G 
    But hulls in concord  
B           A        G 
    For the taste of salt  
A            G 
    To sever mooring   
B       A        G 
    Let bones be bones
